Human evolution

beliefs of the history of humans. These could include how we come from apes, Adam and Eve, and many more. From my research, I have concluded that there is significantly more evidence pointing toward evolution than other beliefs. For example, compared to Christianity (one of the largest religions globally), there is way more evidence hinting toward evolution compared to Adam and Eve. This evidence includes fossil records and radiometric dating. Most people see evolution and Darwin’s theory of…

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution was 66 years old and well-established in the scientific community. Based on the controversy boiling in one Tennessee courtroom, however, one might have thought that the theory was published just the day before the trial. The State of Tennessee versus John Scopes trial, better known as the Scopes Monkey trial, was the first time that biology education standards were seriously debated. John Scopes, a teacher, was accused of teaching evolution when state law…

Evolution fact or fiction? Well according to decades of research it is a widely accepted fact, a phenomenon that still causes controversy between the faithful and the scientific community. Shermer discusses in “The Facts of Evolution” the countless evidence that proves the existence of evolution and disproves creationists. He also explains the evolution that people still see around themselves, not just the idea of apes slowly transforming into humans which is the most popular way people…

The debate between the idea of creationism and evolutionism has been going on for quite some time now. Evolution is more commonly taught in schools because the teaching of the Bible and its facts are considered socially unacceptable. However, the Bible’s view on the creation of the earth, along with all the creatures that came with it, provide much more evidence that the idea of evolution. Creationism provides explanations on how Earth was created, how the planet slowly changed over time, and…

Creationism is the belief that life, the Earth, and the universe are the creation of a supernatural being. Evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. Creationism has been tested in the scientific community and it can’t be tested to prove or disprove its accuracy. With Evolution its been tested and proved to be false based on evidence. Evolution relies on evidence from fossil records, the geographic distribution of species, and…

The Collapse of Evolution The collapse of Evolution by Scott M. Huse is a book on the controversial evolution vs creation debate. It is not meant to be a tiring effort on Biblical creationism or a detailed refutation of evolution; however, the evidence provided within its pages easily destroys the evolutionary theory. Huse moves swiftly from one line of reasoning or amount of evidence to the next. This style makes the book very readable as the reader isn’t bogged down in little details or…

one of the key factors why it have existed that long, is because of evolution and extinction. It is the nature’s way to continually adapt to the fast changing environment, though extinction is the “end of the line” of all living species; it is the key to the survival of the future generation species. But with humans around premature extinction will be a problem due to our selfishness and loss of respect to our environment. With humans also known as “wise man”, they will develop a way to slow…

Evolution as a Lesson According to Dennis O’Neill, biological evolution can be defined as, “genetic change in a population from one generation to another” (“Early theories…”, n.d.). Contrary to what some may believe or have been taught, biological evolution and evolutionary theory do not suggest that humans come from monkeys. Rather, they suggest that organisms share a common ancestor somewhere down the line, and that that common ancestor can be held accountable for similar traits among…

Since Darwin published his theory of evolution in The Origin of Species a century and a half ago, evolution has become a subject of immense discussion for politicians, academics, researchers, and, of course, psychologists. Evolution is defined as “the changing of inherited traits in a given species over time,” but it is often used as an umbrella term for natural selection and the favoring of some species over others. Natural selection refers to Darwin’s idea that species who possess favorable…

any specific religion (“Creationism”, 2015). This is because many followers of evolution protest that creationism is merely a religion rather than a scientific explanation (Wiker, 2005). Evolutionists claim that their theory is entirely based on scientific fact so therefore; their position must be more…
